Paul Signac Original Vintage Pencil Sketches on Paper

About the Item

A fascinating four page manuscript of sketches by one of the most significant French artists of the 20th century, Paul Signac. This four page manuscript features a series of pencil drawings and sketches, along with lengthy annotations in French which offer an insight into Paul Signac's artistic process. The rough illustrations on page one of the manuscript include notes referring to colours and background scenery of a possible future work. Paul Signac (1863-1935) was a French neo-impressionist painter who developed the style of Pointilism along with George Seurat. Signac worked alongside many of the greatest artists of the era, including Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Camille Pissarro and Odilon Redon, and shared a close friendship with Vincent van Gough. In 1884 Signac was one of the four founding members of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, an association which hosted major exhibitions and set important artistic trends for more than three decades. He also wrote several important works on the theory of art, and throughout his life served as both an inspiration and a patron to younger artists.
